AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
1058 AM EDT SAT AUG 22 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST TODAY AND
TONIGHT. HURRICANE BILL WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH TODAY (SEE
LATEST TRACK INFORMATION FROM THE TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER). IT
WILL PASS JUST EAST OF THE GULF OF MAINE SUNDAY MORNING...BEFORE
MOVING INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY
DEVELOP OFF THE EAST COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL USHER IN COOLER CANADIAN AIR BY LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE FLAVOR OF THE CURRENT FORECAST HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED MUCH...AND
THE GRIDDED AND TEXT FORECASTS WERE UPDATED TO ACCOUNT FOR TRENDS.
FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DAY...CONVECTION AND FLOODING POTENTIAL
WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEMS.

A BAND OF CLOUDINESS AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD FRONT OVER THE GREAT
LAKES EXTENDED FROM THE MID ATLANTIC INTO NORTHERN MAINE. SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE BAND...HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS ALLOWED FOR
SOME SUNSHINE... AND CUMULUS WAS STARTING TO BUILD HERE. WHILE
SOME SHOWERS WERE STREAMING NORTHEAST IN THE DEEP SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW...THE MAIN BAND OF SHOWERS EXTENDED BACK THROUGH
SOUTHEAST NEW YORK INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.

THE DEEP SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE MID LEVELS WAS AHEAD
OF A LONG WAVE TROUGH IN THE MID LEVELS WHICH EXTENDED FROM THROUGH
THE GREAT LAKES. WHILE THE PATTERN IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME AS
FRIDAY...THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES. FIRST...THE TOTAL
MOISTURE IN THE COLUMN IS NOT AS HIGH (AS SEEN ON THE 1200 UTC
SOUNDINGS IN THE NORTHEAST). THE AXIS OF HIGHEST PRECIPITABLE
WATERS WAS IN MORE OR LESS THE SAME PLACE AS THE BAND OF SHOWERS.

SURFACE DEW POINTS ARE ALSO A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN FRIDAY...WITH
THE AXIS OF HIGHEST DEW POINTS EXTENDING JUST AHEAD OF THE BAND OF
SHOWERS. 850 MB DEW POINTS ARE ALSO A TAD LOWER...WITH THE 15
DEGREE CELSIUS CONTOUR POINTING INTO NEW ENGLAND. BECAUSE THE
MOISTURE CONTENT IS LOWER...THE INSTABILITY ALSO APPEARS TO BE
LOWER THIS MORNING AHEAD OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH.

MODIFYING MORNING SOUNDINGS SHOW A DECENT CAPE PROFILE FOR THE
CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THESE AREAS
CONTINUE TO BE THE BEST LOCATIONS FOR DEEP CONVECTION...AND
ENHANCED WORDING WAS RETAINED OF THE BALANCE OF THE DAY.

BULK SHEAR IS HIGH THIS MORNING...BUT THIS SHOULD BACK OFF IN THE
AFTERNOON AS THE JET STREAK OVER THE ST LAWRENCE THIS MORNING
EXITS. IN ADDITION...THE LCL HEIGHTS ARE HIGHER THAN THIS TIME
FRIDAY...SO THE CONVECTION MODE TODAY FOR DEEP CONVECTION SHOULD
BE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WIND DAMAGE FROM WET MICROBURSTS.

AS FAR AS FLOODING POTENTIAL...WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE HOW THE
BAND TO THE WEST SETS UP. THIS COULD BECOME MORE OR LESS STATIONARY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. OUTSIDE THE AREAS THAT GOT
RAIN FRIDAY...MOST OTHER AREAS HAVE BEEN COMPARATIVELY DRY THE
PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL NOT ISSUE A FLOOD
WATCH JUST YET. MORE IN THE FLOOD POTENTIAL IS CONTAINED IN THE
HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT WITH EVENING THUNDERSTORMS SOME OF WHICH COULD
POSSESS HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. ALSO CONTINUED AREAS OF FOG.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HURRICANE BILL PASSES AT IT CLOSEST POINT TO THE MAINE COAST
SUNDAY MORNING...BUT STILL JUST EAST OF THE GULF OF MAINE. TRACK
CONSENSUS IS HIGHLY CLUSTERED (SEE TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER
FORECASTS FOR DETAILS). A FEW SHOWERS MAY REACH COASTAL AREAS FROM
THIS SYSTEM AS IT GRADUALLY BEGINS EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION DURING
ITS PASSAGE JUST EAST OF THE GULF OF MAINE. THERE WILL BE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL...AS
INVERTED TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR
SEVERAL HOURS DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS.

A SECOND AREA OF SHOWERS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS OF MAINE AND
PORTIONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL STILL BE
HIGH...SO A FEW DOWNPOURS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE IN A FEW STORMS.

MAIN THREAT WILL BE WAVE ACTION AND RIP CURRENTS (SEE SPLASH-OVER
SECTION BELOW).

UPPER TROUGH WHICH HELPED TO MOVE BILL NORTHWARD WILL CONTINUE
TO WEAKEN AND CROSS OUR FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD
THEREAFTER. HOWEVER...LATER IN THE WEEK A RELATIVELY STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS NEW ENGLAND AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
TOWARDS THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
IN THE NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE SLOWLY
LIFTING TO VFR WITH THE REDUCTION IN FOG AND STRATUS DUE TO
SUNSHINE. THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE CASE FOR THE REST OF THE
DAY...AS VFR CONDITIONS ARE INTERRUPTED BY MVFR CONDITIONS IN
CONVECTION. SINCE DEEPER CONVECTION HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED... WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE VCTS IN THE TERMINAL FORECASTS FOR NOW...AND ADD
TSRA WHEN THE THREAT BECOMES MORE CONCRETE.

IN THE SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...CONDITIONS LOWERING TO IFR/LIFR IN
FOG/SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT.

LONG TERM...IFR OR MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY. CONDITIONS
WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE THROUGH MONDAY. DRIER/WARMER CONDITIONS
THEREAFTER...WITH GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS DEVELOPING BY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE NEAR TERM /TODAY/...WINDS REMAIN FROM THE SOUTH THIS
MORNING AND ARE GENERALLY 10 KNOTS OR LESS. AS HAS BEEN THE ASE
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...THE LOCAL SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS WILL
FORM...AND ENHANCE THE GRADIENT IN PLACE. THIS IS COVERED WITH THE
CURRENT FORECAST...AND NOT MUCH CHANGE HERE.

THE SWELL FROM BILL IS STARTING TO AFFECT THE WATERS...AND NOAA
AND GOMOOS BUOYS ARE SHOWING 16 SECOND PERIOD WAVES. THIS WILL
INCREASE AS THE WAVES REFRACT AROUND LAND MASSES FOR SOUTHERN
WATERS. THE INFLUENCE WILL BE MORE DIRECT FOR EASTERN WATERS...AND
SEAS WERE BUMPED UP HERE A BIT FOR THE AFTERNOON.

THE GOMOOS BUOY ON THE EASTERN MAINE SHELF IS SHOWING VISIBILITIES
LESS THAN ONE-HALF NAUTICAL MILE WITH THE FOG BANK SITTING OVER
THE EASTERN WATERS. THE VISIBILITY WAS REDUCED IN ANZ150 TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

IN THE SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...SCAS TONIGHT FOR SEAS AND WINDS
GUSTS TO 25 KT OVER THE OUTER WATERS.

LONG TERM...ALL WAVE MODEL GUIDANCE PEAKS WAVES AROUND 18Z SUNDAY.
SWELL DIRECTION SWITCHES FROM THE SE SATURDAY NIGHT...TO ENE SUNDAY.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL PROBABLY REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL EARLY
MONDAY DUE TO SEAS. WINDS TO COME UP OUT OF THE WSW BY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE AXIS OF THE DEEPEST MOISTURE REMAINS TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS MORNING...AS THE HIGHEST PRECIPITABLE WATERS AND SURFACE
DEW POINTS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. TO THIS
POINT...THE NARROW AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS ENTERING
SOUTHEAST NEW YORK STATE...AND IT IS THIS AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE WATCHED
FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

0600 UTC MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS BAND WILL ENTER THE WESTERN ZONES
THIS AFTERNOON...THEN STRETCH ACROSS CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO WESTERN
MAINE. SOME OF THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS RECEIVED 2 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAIN WITH THE CONVECTION YESTERDAY. WITH STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS
TO WHERE THE AREA WILL FOCUS...WILL HOLD OF ON A WATCH FOR NOW...BUT
THIS MAY BECOME NECESSARY THIS AFTERNOON FOR TONIGHT.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE NERACOOS COASTAL FLOOD NOMOGRAM CONTINUES TO SHOW THE GREATEST
THREAT FOR SPLASH-OVER TO BE THE 159 PM HIGH TIDE (PORTLAND)
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT MINOR TO MODERATE SPLASH-OVER CONDITIONS
AT THAT TIME AS A STORM TIDE OF AROUND 11 FEET WILL COMBINE WITH
NEARSHORE WAVES OF AROUND 10 FEET (THERE IS A VERY GOOD CONSENSUS
AMONG THE WAVE MODELS). SWELL DIRECTION SWITCHES TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST
SUNDAY MORNING...WHICH WOULD MAKE EAST AND NORTHEAST FACING
BEACHES THE MOST VULNERABLE. HAVE ISSUED A STATEMENT TO DISCUSS
THE ABOVE CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE RIP TIDES AS MANY BEACH-GOERS
WILL BE OUT AND ABOUT THIS WEEKEND DUE TO THE WARM CONDITIONS
(BOTH AIR AND WATER TEMPERATURES).

&&
